HRE Releases Photo Recap from 2013 SEMA

HRE set out to prove a point this year at SEMA. Not only did they have one of the largest and most interactive booths at the show, but it was filled with HRE eye candy. But their booth was only the first frontier. SEMA was riddled with HRE wheels, you find them on a ton of different make and models. You saw them on everything from foreign to domestic, to new and old cars. They have wheels for cars with the daring, more unconventional style, and wheels for those who rock the more traditional look. No matter what your style is, HRE’s got you covered.

Yesterday they released a gang of photos from SEMA. We looked through them and grabbed all the pictures we thought proved our point.The pictures below are just a sample of all the pictures we have, check out all our pictures from SEMA HERE. Check out HRE’s Wheels selection HERE. Shop all HRE’s HERE. We want to know what you think of the selection do they not have something for everyone? Or tell us what you think is the best pairing? You can tell us in the comment section below, or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

New Audi Q7 Widebody Kit from Hofele

The Audi Q7 was made for the classy family that have grown out of the two-door, but didn’t want to have the bulk of a full SUV. The Q7′s sleek design was made for city driving and all year round weather conditions. But like most things in life, you hate to spend that much on something that when you roll to a stop light, you see your exact car in the lane next to you. It loses the feeling of accomplishment and status. So why not make it better than the car next to you?

Hofele Design specializes in parts and accessories for Audi and VW. The Audi and VW crowd is already set a part from most, that’s why we like that Hofele focuses on those make and models specifically. They know what they are good at and what they love, and they create things from there. As we mentioned before, we love this time of year because not only do you see awesome prices on stuff companies have to get rid of, but you also get the release of things that they will make available for the holidays and new year. With that, we would like to introduce two kits from Hofele for the Audi Q7 2010+.

The Hofele Strator GT780 Widebody Kit includes (WHITE CAR):

• Front bumper 
• Front grill needed for the Hofele-Design front bumper 
• Wide-Body wheel arch extens​ion kit 
• Front fenders with air intakes and wheel arch extension pieces for the front and rear. 
• Rear apron in diffuser-style 
• Rear apron “Strator” in diffuser-style  
• Stainless steel oval double tailpipes needed for the Hofele-Design rear apron. 
• Rear roof spoiler. Placed onto the serial spoiler of the Q7 as double spoiler.

The Hofele Strator GT750 NON- Widebody Kit includes (BLACK CAR):

• Front bumper
• Front grill needed for the Hofele-Design front bumper
• Front fenders with air intakes and wheel arch extension pieces for the front and rear.

Glow in the Dark Golf 7 by Low Car Scene & Blackbox Richter

Volkswagen Golf’s have always been popular in the tuner market and they carry their own cult-like following, but with the release of the new VW Golf 7′s, we’re seeing another wave of custom Golf’s on the scene. Since we were just at SEMA, one of the things you saw a lot this year, were cars wrapped with matte color or even a custom print like Justin Bieber’s leopard Audi R8 that West Coast Customs had on display. Well, Low Car Scene and Blackbox Richter decided to take their custom wrapped Golf 7 to a whole new, futuristic, level.

At first glance the car just looks like it’s wrapped in a off white almost mint color. The neon pinkish, orange Rotiform wheels and accents really stand out. The LED’s in the front draw attention too but, all-in-all, there’s nothing specifically impressive about this tuner… Until… The lights go out! That’s when you really see the ingenious behind this custom wrap. IT GLOWS IN THE DARK! The vehicle has been wrapped in a 3M phosphor vinyl that appears white, but then glows, like something out of Tron movie, when you turn out the lights. Not only was the exterior wrapped in the special vinyl, but so were the three piece 20″ x 8″ Rotiform wheels. Not to be outdone on any front, they added the LED’s inside the mud guards, which make the insides of the wheels glow as well.

We want to know what you think? Is this car as cool as we think it is? What car would you want to see glow in the dark? Let us know in the comment section below or on Facebook, Twitter @vividracingcom, or on Instagram @vividracing. If you’re looking for ways to customize your own tuner, email sales@vividracing.com and we’ll set you up with the best, next-level gear, at the most affordable prices.
